ARCHIVED Omg...i Might Be On To Something

Yeah... I'm also missing something. If someone wouldn't mind PMing me, I'd like to know what went down. (Huh, I suppose I haven't posted in a while. But I'm still here! I always read along. ) Sara -

Woohoo! Go to the supermarket for those eggs with gusto! I'm so glad your surgery went well, and your tumor was benign. -

I couldn't resist! The call of the Reese's peanut butter cup... or the Kit Kat... or the string cheese. I did eventually get an upset stomach, but not brain fog! But I will be a good girl from now on. Unhuh. -

I was a bad girl for Halloween. I ate a Twix bar. A gluten, casein, and soy challenge in one convenient little package! And I feel fine. I'm having a few reactions, but those are more my psychosomatic reactions (stupid anxiety ). It's very exciting. I'm not going to make this a regular thing until after I start the allergy shots, but it's nice... -

Hi Everyone, Just thought it was time for a bit of an update. I've been doing a lot better lately, even with cutting down on the abx a bit. However, the sulfates in the abx are really doing a number on me. Also, last Wednesday I went to the dentist (not biological). I don't have any fillings or need anything drilled, but they did put sealants on... -

It turns out I didn't get the mercury LED yesterday afterall. My last LED didn't clear, and I also had to re-do the Sulfa LED. At this point it looks like I don't detox sulfas well, so I'm going to have to do this LED monthly... and I might just skip the other ones and just do chelation on them. It's rather frustrating, because if I don't detox then... -

Hi all, Just thought I'd update you all. I'm having a mercury LED tomorrow... and I found out that I have OAS (Oral Allergy Syndrome). That's about it for now. Birdy -

It was explained to me, Sherry, that I needed to be on a PPI to reduce the stomach acid so the abx could get to it. I can't do the bismuth as it's related to aspirin and I'm allergic to NSAIDs. I have an herbal thing I'll be taking along with it, too. Birdy -

Kassandra, I hope the Reglan works well for you, I've been on it for several months now, and it's worked wonders for me. I'm also considering going back on a PPI. I need to get at the h.pylori bugs that are partying in my stomach, and to do that I need a PPI. Although I haven't had any reflux for a while. Birdy -

I'm back from Williamsburg now, and the mold patch is now OUT of my carpet! I'm glad surgery went well for Kassandra, but hopefully the pain will reduce soon so she can go home. Birdy -

That would be amazing if you were at the end of this, Carla! Glad you could make it through the games, Paula. Birdy -

Poor Kassandra. Ugh, yet another thing to deal with. I'm glad you've found a way to get the fluid you need, Carla. I hope the D lets up soon. Birdy -

Thanks, everyone! Kassandra, I hope things continue going well and that you're ferritin is in normal range. Carla, I'm having some D too, probably from the supplement I was having problems with. Sherry, I'd normally agree with you about the supplement being a problem itself, but I was tested for it with BioSet. So I'm fairly certain that's... -

(Today's my 18th birthday ) Has anyone else taken Spleen Terrain by Apex Energetics? Every time I've taken in the past few days I've felt awful. This is the description from the company's website: I'm thinking that the reason I feel bad is because it's helping stimulate my immune system (has colostrum in it) and is causing a small herx ... -

I'm in Williamsburg right now, and I feel pretty awful. I'm not sure if it's something I ate, or if it's that I didn't eat really anything until dinner, or if it's me detoxing from the mold. Birdy -

Yes, the article I read said specifically that amoxy doesn't get to Ehrlichiosis. -

Ehrlichiosis needs to be treated by a tetracycline antibiotic (like Doxy). I'm not sure about the suggested dosages, though. Probably the standard 100mg for Lyme. That's the reason Doxy is usually given to treat Lyme first, it covers more of the co-infections. -

Our power went out for about 18hrs yesterday. It's back on now. I have no idea what would happen if it went out for a week! We'd probably end up moving into a hotel for a while, since we have a well our water goes out with our power. Kassandra, So glad you're making progress!! 45-55% days are awesome!!! Carla, Glad you're feeling better. ... -

It's this little piece (less than a square food), and it's right by my bed. Ideally we could replace the carpet before winter sets in, but I'm not sure if we have the funds to do it. I'm not quite sure if I'm actually smelling the mold, or just thinking I'm smelling mold. But I've thought for a couple weeks that this place by the water bottle in the... -

AHHH!!!!! So I am incredibly worried at this moment. There's been a patch of mold on my carpet for the past two years... I never really thought much of it (it came just after my health crash... kinda related to an angry outburst+glucerna+laziness ). Until now. Now I'm obsessing over just spending time in my room. And smelling mold in every other cranny... -

Should you take zeolite away from other supps/meds? I tried taking some a few weeks ago and it didn't agree with me. But I'm suspecting it could've been because it absorbed my meds. Birdy -

Congratulations, Susie!!! :D Glad to hear that so much progress is being made, Carla and Kassandra. *PMs both of you* I just had my second LED yesterday (for Gold/Aluminum). The Sulfa one cleared on the first go (Matt was surprised) and I feel so good right now. I think going off the abx for 24hrs helped, too. I won't be able to have the... -

Kassandra, I'm so sorry about the disappointment with that doctor. Ugh! I'm sure you'll eventually be able to figure it all out. Carla, Wow. I just stayed at a hotel that had sleepnumber beds in it. All I could think about were the EMFs. I'm fairly certain that they were installed after 2005, though. That's just unbelievable! Birdy
